In this hadith, [[the Prophet (s)]] clarifies his greater right and authority over the faithful than themselves, based on the [[verse]] "The Prophet has a greater right (or a greater authority) over the faithful than they have over their own selves…." (33:6) The greater right and authority mentioned in this verse is about the life of the faithful and also about ruling them than themselves. When there is a greater right and authority, we are required to follow and obey the one who has that greater right and authority. According to the opinions of some [[Mufassir|exegete]]s, the greater right and authority mentioned in this verse addresses all worldly and spiritual affairs of Muslims, since the Prophet (s) would order the faithful only to what brings them the happiness in religion and the world. | In this hadith, [[the Prophet (s)]] clarifies his greater right and authority over the faithful than themselves, based on the [[verse]] "The Prophet has a greater right (or a greater authority) over the faithful than they have over their own selves…."

Therefore, the correlation which exists between the mentioned phrase implying "the greater right and authority" and introducing [[Imam 'Ali (a)]] in the other phrase shows that "Mawla" in the second phrase supported 'Ali's (a) greater right and authority over Muslims. | Therefore, the correlation which exists between the mentioned phrase implying "the greater right and authority" and introducing [[Imam 'Ali (a)]] in the other phrase shows that "Mawla" in the second phrase supported 'Ali's (a) greater right and authority over Muslims.<ref> Razi, ''Al-Arba'in'', vol.2 p.283</ref> | ||

At the beginning of his sermon, the Prophet (s) gave the news about his demise and then asked about [[Tawhid|unity]] and whether he did his mission well. These are all signs for the fact that the Prophet (s) was trying to find a solution for the period after his demise, so that the Umma would not remain without leader and guardian and the great efforts he (s) made would not be left without fruits. He (s) wanted to appoint a wise and competent [[successor]] to manage different issues after he (s) passed away and the verse 67 of [[Sura al-Ma'ida]] is an evidence to support this claim. | At the beginning of his sermon, the Prophet (s) gave the news about his demise and then asked about [[Tawhid|unity]] and whether he did his mission well.<ref> Ibn Athir, ''Asad al-ghaba'', vol.1 p.439; Ibn Kathir, ''Al-Bidaya wa al-nihaya'', vol.7 p.348-349; Baladhuri, Ansab al-ashraf, vol.2 p.108</ref> These are all signs for the fact that the Prophet (s) was trying to find a solution for the period after his demise, so that the Umma would not remain without leader and guardian and the great efforts he (s) made would not be left without fruits.
